Hi all :)
You may have seen a topic i prerviously posted very recently about my boys. Im a mom of 3. I have got my one boy through alot of the process to the point they have said its Autism and ADHD but it hasnt been put on paper as yet as hes yet to see a phsycotherapist and my other son hasnt even got to first screening yet. This in mind, I have so many questions, so please forgive me as no matter what i read it seems so vague. My main question being if this is the case, does my nearly 6 year old son know? is he aware of his autism and ADHD? If not when do they become aware of it? do you tell them or do you not say anything at all ( i wouldnt until it was on paper anyway). Also my one son has alot of hitting, bitting to others and himself, he uses baby talk and grunts, these things sometimes make me wonder is all this behaviour completely his condition OR is some of it just an average nearly 6 year olds behaviour? Im very confused. I know alot of the things he does isnt that of someone his age but say like when hes boundary pushing is that the nearly six year old or is it part of the condition or both? the reason i ask this as im so worried about time out if its something that cant be helped, in fact should i be time outing anyway? Im in a place where im questioning everything he does (not to him like i just think is this his way of saying i cant cope or is it him just being a head strong nearly 6 year old?) , im questioning everything we do like should i time out if his behaviour is unacceptable (but then it might not be his fault and so i dont want him to feel misunderstood). I often wonder if he knows as im scared that he might feel alone or isolated and i really dont want that. I mean he seems happy enough until hes in one of his outbursts but i am a worrier and the thought of them feeling misunderstood for even a second turns my stomach. If theres anyone out there with autism / ADHD or both a point of view and advice from you would be greatly appreciated as i just want to understand and do the best for my boys. My boys havent changed overnight and i would like to think that i know them every inch of the way however if theres anything i can do to understand the way they see the world then that can only benefit them surely? thank you for reading my post, and thank you in advance to anyone that can contribute, it means alot. Best Wishes, Lisa :)

Myself and two of my cousins got one each a few years ago but Ellicia's got broken by accident and she started crying, so I gave her mine. I was more attatched to the sweets I'd smuggled up from dessert. xD Plus she's my favourite cousin, she knows the way I think better than anyone else so it does upset me when she cries, even if shes only a few months younger than me.
My cousin Paul used to do that to me all the time when my mum or aunt was trying to help me with my homework, although he did do it just to annoy me. I couldn't help myself and the answer kept blurting out anyway but I've managed to reduce that down to a mumble now if the question's not directed at me. Its taken years but I've managed. :)
I went into shock in year 10 when an old (I mean, this lady has wrinkles on her wrinkles) teacher came in for a cover lesson with a halterneck top that loosely covered her 'bab's' and a skirt that ended shortly after her hips, with fishnet tights on.
After ten full minutes of staring blankly in horror my mate Annie managed to put some scrap paper in front of me and we both started off writing 'Ewewewewewewew' repeatedly across the page...then somehow ended up writing the lyrics to 'I'm Blue Da ba dee da ba die'... was a good distraction but still, it was the one lesson where I wasn't the only one that struggled to look at the teacher. XD
